03 - Mixed Use Development and Urban Regeneration

WHY URBAN REGENERATION?

 

  • High-value urban land locked in obsolete uses

  • Strong demand for mixed-use development

  • Limited supply of new building areas

  • Significant potential for valorization through urban planning improvements

 

THE PROBLEM

 

  • Long and complex urban planning processes

  • High initial capital with delayed returns

  • Underutilized assets that generate low income

  • Fragmented ownership and regulatory constraints

 

 

THE OPPORTUNITY

 

  • Unlocking value through urban transformation

  • Generate income during the planning phase

  • Developing sustainable mixed-use environments

  • Capturing long-term value growth

 

 

LINE 03 — MIXED USE & REGENERATION

Strategic transformation of underutilized urban and industrial areas through urban redevelopment and land use changes.

We unlock value by combining temporary income strategies with long-term mixed-use development.

A development-led approach, focused on scalability, sustainability, and significant value creation.

BUSINESS LINES — LINE 03

Urban regeneration & planning gain → value creation → transformation or exit

​

Timeline: 3+ years
ROI: 30–60% (planning uplift)

​

OBJECTIVE

Regenerate industrial or underutilized urban areas through zoning transformation, temporary income strategies, and high-quality mixed-use development.

​

ASSETS

  • Industrial buildings and warehouses

  • Underutilized or obsolete assets

  • Transformation sites and large plots

  • Strategic urban locations with planning potential

​

OPERATIONS

  • Acquisition of land or assets in transformation areas

  • Activation of temporary income-generating uses during the planning phase (placemaking)

  • Definition of the urban strategy and zoning change process

  • Increase in development rights and land value

  • Integration of sustainability, landscape, and infrastructure

OPERATIONS – Line 3

 

1️⃣ Strategic acquisition

  • Acquisition of land, industrial assets or transformation areas

  • Focus on locations with potential for change of urban planning use

  • Access through tenders, auctions or private negotiations

​​

2️⃣ Generative temporary use (smart phase) — placemaking

  • Micro data centers

  • Storage / logistics

  • Prefabricated workshops

  • Light industrial uses

  • Short-term rentals

​​

3️⃣ Planning gain and urban planning changes

  • Preparation of a new urban plan or zoning change

  • Increase in building rights (volumes, heights, intended uses)

  • Definition of a mixed-use masterplan

  • Coordination with public authorities

​​

4️⃣ Sustainable valorization

  • Climate Adaptation Strategy

  • Landscape and public space design

  • Energy systems (district heating / WKO-type solutions)

  • Efficient and bio-based construction approaches

​

5️⃣ Exit

  • Resale with master plan or approved permit

  • Internal development if target ROI is achieved

  • Or structuring joint ventures with institutional partners
